Our prediction for this League 2 match:
Port Vale will try to put an end to their seven-game winless run in League Two when they face Cheltenham Town on Wednesday afternoon. The Valiants suffered a dip in form, losing each of their last two league games, but the bookies still see them as favourites to beat Cheltenham. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, defender Kyle John should be recalled to the starting line-up.
The Robins, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-3 loss to Notts County, which is probably the main reason why we are going to place our bets on the home side. Experienced forward Ryan Bowman is in line for a recall to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the last league match. Lewis Payne is pushing for a rare start as well.
Highlighted Team (Port Vale):
Nicknamed the Valiants, Port Vale are a professional club that compete in the League Two. Port Vale welcome their rivals at Vale Park, and they wear white and black kit when playing in front of home fans. Yellow, on the other hand, is the dominant colour of their away kit.
The Valiants’ home ground, which was built in 1950, can hold up to 49,768 people. Championship side Stoke City are seen as one of the club’s fiercest rivals, but their rivalry is pretty healthy. The two teams first met on December 2, 1882, with the Potters emerging triumphant (1-0).
The Valiants maintain a rivalry with fellow League 2 club Crewe Alexandra as well. Speaking of the club’s titles, it has to be noted that Port Vale have won Football League Trophy on two occasions (1993, 2001). A 9-1 win over Chesterfield from September 24, 1932 is the club’s biggest triumph.
